Russia offers to help US with Covid-19 vaccine; US says no

https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/13/europe/russia-us-coronavirus-vaccine/index.html

Moscow (CNN)

Russian officials in Moscow tell CNN they have offered "unprecedented cooperation" with Operation Warp Speed (OWS), the US multi-agency body set up to accelerate access to effective Covid-19 vaccines and treatments.

But the officials told CNN that the "US is not currently open" to the Russian medical advances.
"There is a general sense of mistrust of Russia on the American side and we believe that technologies -- including vaccine, testing and treatments -- are not being adopted in US because of that mistrust," one senior Russian official told CNN.
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Thursday that President Donald Trump has been briefed on the new Russian vaccine. She said that American vaccines go through "rigorous" Phase 3 testing and high standards.


How long before trump buys millions of the Russian vaccine?

He is working some angle to get it here. He will give us a generic version of daddy putin's vaccine.

He has to find some way of getting millions of taxpayer dollars to Putin, and this could be how he pays putin back for the money he owes him.

He should give it to his children ( not Barron or Tiffany ), son in law and melanoma. We really would like to see them get the same chance he gets to get an excellent Putin approved vaccine.

I am sure that both Eric and Donny Jr would man up and show us how safe it is, and how much they trust putin and their dad.

Talk about two birds with one stone. He can claim that because of him and Daddy Vlad he has not only waxed Covid but affirmed the righteousness of his relationship with his Kremlin Overlord.

Untested, unsafe, the effects probably won't be known until after Nov. 3rd.

On a high note Joe and Kamala will kick his sorry ass from DC to Mir a Lago anyway.

we know he won't take any responsibility, and he can always blame on Pence. Pence will be more than glad to help out the "chosen" one!
